Keep in mind that while the 22nd is the expected due date, there is a lot of work involved and the judges are working on their free time. We've seen the judging delayed until the end of march previous years, so it'd be quite a feat if they were all done by the 22nd.

With that said, I'm hoping to see some results today (it's 13:14 on the 22nd here in australia...) as well! :>

Correction: Now I have 30 left. I just reviewed about 20 and I think my reviews are suffering at this point (I just seem to be grouching to people about their shortcomings) so I'm calling it a night. I'll try to get the last 30 done over the course of tomorrow.

Yeah, it's a lot of games, but I've definitely tossed quite a few chances to get some of them done. If I had never procrastinated then they would have been finished last week. It only took about 2 or 3 hours to get 20 done last night - that can be easily spread out over many days.

Regardless, no sense in feeling bad about the past. I don't want to force a deadline extension so I'm going to do everything I can to finish them up today.

Agreed, thanks for the extension! TOO much going on overall and these games are many and FUN to play!

On a side note, 4 things I will be doing with this contest:

1) Big blog post with links to all of the games and content after I get done reviewing.2) I want to have the winners, and Appel, on my radio show for discussion. It is a dial in show and I can provide an international dial-in so no costs are incurred. (Check out my radio show here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/shiftradio )3) Want to see how we can get this published to Java.Com4) I will be tracking down the folks from the IGF and seeing if we can get a section in next year's IGF. That one is more difficult, but will be discussing at GDC this week.

All right, only 9 left. I'll get those finished in the next couple of days and then I'm all done. And fortunately they're all extensive and thoughtful reviews - I didn't have to make a bunch of short crappy ones thanks to the two extensions.

DONE! A few wouldn't load or play. Some of these were FANTASTIC and would love to see what the devs can do in a 16K comp......

Good one That's 4 done I believe, and 1 left.

I'm just now putting together the page that will display the results, going very well. We'll see if it will be published by midnight, if not then we'll have a chance to noon tomorrow before March 31st 2009 officially ceases to exist anywhere on the planet
